The only time where this does not quite work is if the very first field in
the struct/class is not a POD that can be initialized to zero.
A common example would be "struct sigaction" on Linux. The first field is an
anonymous union holding both sa_handler and sa_sigaction. So, this code
wouldn't co

Correct. The C++ Standard, §12.6.1 (Explicit initialization) paragraph 2

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, but that's actually what my question
is.
What's the need/point of calling memset if initialization via " = {0};
" works just as well. Are you saying that it doesn't? Or are you
saying that you're not quite sure, and to be on the safe side, do
both. I'd like to avoi
It works fine with gcc.
However, you might want to initialize the entire array to 0 using a
memset.
